Baked Sweet Potato Fries
I like my sweet potato fries on the crispy side, so I slice my fries quite thin and bake until crisp. If you like them softer, cut them a little thicker and don't bake them quite as long. I estimate about one sweet potato per person, which equals less than $1.00 per serving.
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Pinch of fine grain sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F. Slice sweet potatoes into thin strips. In a mixing bowl, toss potato strips with olive oil and spices.
- Place on a baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes. After fries have baked, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, if desired.
These look amazing. They are usually more expensive when you order them at a restaurant, so it’s nice to have a cheap home alternative 🙂
Make these all the time, so easy and great with ketchup. Kids love them!
